The Seahawks will now have five of the first 106 picks as they head into the NFL Draft, which is set for April 27-29.

The Seahawks received good news from the NFL on Friday in the form of two additional third-round picks in the 2017 draft as compensation for players lost via free agency a year ago.

Seattle was awarded picks Nos. 102 and 106 at the end of the third round, which combined with the Seahawks’ own picks in the first (26), second (58) and third (90) rounds means the team has five of the first 106 picks overall.

Seattle has just two other picks — in the sixth and seventh rounds — having traded its fourth-rounder last year in a draft-day deal with New England that netted the Seahawks DL Quinton Jefferson and WR Kenny Lawler, and having lost its fifth-rounder as a penalty for violating off-season workout rules.

Conventional wisdom held that the Seahawks would most likely be granted a third-rounder and a fifth or maybe two fourth-rounders as compensatory picks.
